Viewpoint located on the GC-21 road, with views of the Montañón Negro area. It has paved ground, safety flags and information panels. It is the vertex where the boundaries of the municipalities of Moya, Santa María de Guía and Gáldar converge, with the centenary Canary Island pines that give their name to the Caldera de los Pinos de Gáldar, which can be seen from above, standing out. Although there are still valuable remains of the ancient forest, in four centuries (from the end of the 15th to the end of the 19th century) most of it was cut down and dedicated to subsistence farming and grazing land.
